Bibliography Progress Post
The Renaissance is something that has always fascinated me. Being an intellect at this time highlighted exactly what it means to be a human being. The ability to think, create, and change the world around you, very few people have done or will do this. We've read many Renaissance authors thus far this semester; most are British. I am not certain that my chosen topic will be permitted, however I am certain that very few people in the world know anything about my topic. Leonardo Da Vinci's Fables I know . . . you thought he only painted, created war machines, and studied anatomy . . . but he was also a very prolific writer and the definition of a Renaissance man. My thesis (which will undoubtedly change) is currently Leonardo Da Vinci's fables are written in such a manner that they tell of the unjust political system he was subject to and as such are his testimonies againsnt that very system. Yeah it needs some work, but it's coming along. As far as my reasearch is coming, I won't lie. It's somewhat difficult to find information on the fables, let alone finding the fables in Da Vinci's original Archaic language. I may end up having to use one fable as an example, but we'll see. As far as my process goes I have my notebook system, perhaps you rememer from last semester. Again, I do hope I provided you with the information that you wanted . . . I'm really not sure. The assignment sheet said "a blog post about your progress . . ." If you want my "Notebook" or a list of my sources so far, just let me know otherwise I'm going to enjoy the last five hours of my spring break!
